繁星之夜

繁星之夜

 

一朵雲彩降自長天

   打破山峰的額頭；

散落了昏暗的碎片

   遍及下方的山穀。

 

月亮和星星都急於

   知道自己的命運；

於是衝向蔚藍開口，

   他們都低頭確認。

 

 

A starry night

 

    Paul Laurence Dunbar

 

A cloud fell down from the heavens,

  And broke on the mountain's brow;

It scattered the dusky fragments

  All over the vale below.

 

The moon and the stars were anxious

  To know what its fate might be;

So they rushed to the azure opening,

  And all peered down to see.
